Hawaii requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:
Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $20,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.
Increased from 20/40/10 effective Jan 1, 2026 (new/renewal policies); no-fault state, $10k PIP required.
Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.
Hawaii rates average about 20% below the national average, near $50/mo for liability and $159/mo for full coverage. Lighter traffic, fewer claims, and lower repair costs keep pricing down, and comparing 3 or more quotes can push your rate lower still.
Penny read the statutes: fines, license and registration suspension, SR-22 filing requirements, and reinstatement fees, with exact amounts set by Hawaii law. Her math holds in all 50 states: a minimum-coverage policy costs less than the penalties. Verify specifics with the Hawaii Department of Insurance.
